Faced with the driver's dangerous behavior, a roadblock was set up by a crew from the interdepartmental public transport security service (SISTC), in the La Viste district, in the 15th arrondissement of Marseille.
But the driver, determined, violently hits a police vehicle to force the passage.
The intensity of the shock injured four police officers in the neck, and stopped the driver's car in its tracks.
